"Uncle Village Chief, I understand." Mengdie nodded a little aggrievedly.
"Okay, let's go." Ye Qingning smiled and pulled her forward.
"Village chief, where are this little girl's parents?" Chen Yu asked.
"Alas, her parents passed away a long time ago. Our village worships the witch ancestor every year, and talented children will stay in the clan to practice witchcraft with the great witch."
"But before the witchcraft is perfected, no one can leave the Holy Land, so we have to send living supplies there every year." The village chief said: "Her parents encountered a flash flood on the way back from transporting supplies and lost their lives.
Take your life."
"Then is there anything different between her and other children since she was a child?" Chen Yu asked, looking at the little girl's back.
He recalled the little girl's previous ability to control insects. This ability was not witchcraft, and she had never practiced witchcraft. It seemed that that ability was an innate ability.
"Yes, she can communicate with our Gu and understand the feelings of Gu and some insects. You must know that only our Wu Ming can have this ability after cultivating to the 'Witch Spirit Realm'. She has never learned witchcraft.
She has such an ability, and everyone agrees that this is Gu Zu's compensation for the death of her parents."
Mentioning this, the village chief said with excitement: "So we must send her to the Holy Land to practice, but this little girl didn't want to, so she missed the time for ancestor worship this year, but we must send her next year."
Going to the ancestral land."
Chen Yu nodded, glanced at the cute little girl thoughtfully, and then continued to walk forward.
Soon, a few people came to the pond to the west of the village. This place was a valley, and a huge waterfall fell from the high rocks.
The place where the waterfall falls is a huge pond. The water is very cool and clear. The water falls from the waterfall above into the pond, and then flows out from a small stream.
"This pond is the only water source in the village. We have relied on this pond for survival for generations." The village chief walked to the pond and sighed slightly: "If those things appear in the water,
This is how to do."
"Mr. Village Chief, please don't be anxious. Let Chen Yu take a look first. He will definitely have a solution." Ye Qingning said.
Chen Yu leaned down and put his hand into the water. He only felt that the river water was cool. The water quality here was very good. It was a pure natural mountain spring. However, something that had long been extinct could actually appear in this place. This made Chen Yu puzzled.
.
There were several fish swimming around in the pond. Chen Yu pondered for a moment. He took out a dagger, scratched his hand, and then put his hand into the water.
Blood dripped into the water from the wound on his palm. After a while, the water in this place was dyed red.
"Chen Yu, what are you doing?" Ye Qingning was a little stunned.
"Although these things like Shura leeches live in water, they like to eat blood and raw meat. I will try to lure them up." Chen Yu said.
Sure enough, in less than five minutes, more than ten dark masses surged up from the water.
These black lumps were the Shura leeches just discovered on the villager. They gathered in the blood-smelling water and greedily sucked the blood-smelling water.
It's just that this huge body is twisted together, which makes everyone feel scared.
"Here, what should we do?" The village chief's hands were almost shaking. There were too many of these things. How to get rid of them?
"It's not difficult to eliminate these things. Coarse salt can be dissolved into water and they can be eliminated completely." Chen Yu said.
"It's simple." Ye Qinglong snorted and said: "This pond is so big, who knows where all these things are hidden? Is it possible that you want to turn all the water into salt water?"
"It's not difficult." Chen Yu looked at the surrounding terrain, and then said with a smile: "Village chief, don't worry, this matter is not difficult to solve. Find someone to dig a big hole on this side of the pond, and then dig it again."
A drainage ditch directs some of the water into the pit."
"This is not difficult to do, but what's the use of digging a hole to divert water?" the village chief asked in confusion.
"You just need to dig first. Remember, the drainage ditch does not need to be too wide, just over one meter. Then prepare quicklime, slaughter a cow and sheep, and put all their blood and meat into the pit." Chen Yu said.
"Chen Yu, do you want to use raw flesh and blood to introduce giant leeches into this pit, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop?" Ye Qingning reacted quickly.
"That's right." Chen Yu nodded and smiled: "I guarantee that they will never come back, but this is not a matter of time. Village chief, prepare first. You can also kill them with lime. These things are not difficult in themselves.
wipe out."
"Okay, I understand, I'll find someone to take care of it right away." The village chief's eyes lit up, and he understood what Chen Yu meant, and he quickly turned around to find someone.
The people in the village were united. When they heard that someone had been bitten by something in the water, and now they were going to eliminate these things, within half an hour, dozens of young adults who were idle at home came running over with shovels.
"Everyone, please pay attention. Stay away from water sources. Don't go into the water before the leeches are eliminated. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome. Just hold on and this matter will be solved tomorrow." Chen Yu said.
"Have you heard? Everyone has clearly remembered what Mr. Chen said. It is related to the water source. Let's dig the hole as soon as possible." The village chief shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Okay." Without saying a word, a group of men started working by the pond.
Everyone was working enthusiastically, but after all, this was manual work, and digging was relatively slow. If there had been a forklift here, the deep pit would have been dug out in less than two hours.
"Chen Yu, are you so sure that the leeches are only in this pond? The waterfalls upstream and the creeks downstream are full of water. How can you ensure that they don't run there?" Ye Qinglong wanted to find Chen Yu from time to time.
Trouble.
"These things are a type of ancient species that like silence and hate movement, and they need to lurk in deep water, so they can only stay in this pool of water." Chen Yu said lightly.
Ye Qinglong curled his lips. Although he wanted to refute Chen Yu, he felt that it was useless, so he stopped asking for trouble.
In the blink of an eye, the sky was already dark. The villagers here lit torches and continued to work. However, the big hole could not be dug for a while, so Chen Yu and others went back.
The people in the village are hospitable, and all guests will be sent to a certain house for dinner.
Today, the person in charge of the meals for Chen Yu and others was an old couple. The two old people entertained Chen Yu and others with food that they would usually be reluctant to eat.
"Old guests from far away, we have a difficult time traveling and don't have anything good to entertain us. Let's just make do with home-cooked meals." The old lady finished her work and served the dishes and said with a smile.
The five bodyguards did not come, only siblings Ye Qingning, Chen Yu and Wei Hongye.
But the two old men cooked a table full of dishes, including wild boar from the mountains, wild mushrooms, a lot of game meat and some wild vegetables.
"Grandma, please sit down quickly. We can't usually eat these things outside." Ye Qingning said with a smile.
"No, no, I have to take care of the old man. He broke his leg while hunting in the mountains half a year ago." The old lady sighed.
"Can't he get up now?" Chen Yu's heart moved and he stood up and asked.
